My thought on something like this is that from the bases I might be missing something (angle, distance, other factors). I'm going to let the play continue and then make sure to come in and talk to my PU to let him know what I saw. If I'm 100% sure the ball hit the batter, I'm going to say so and then we'll rectify accordingly, but if he says he's 100% sure it didn't I'm letting him take the call and we don't have to explain to a coach why I've killed a play that could have put his runner on 2B when the ball didn't hit the batter. I've never had a coach throw too big a fuss over returning runners on any dead ball situation where play was allowed to continue (maybe a fuss about whether or not the ball should have been dead, but thats a different discussion). Its the other way around that can get pretty loud.
